Vue doesn't have Fox Sports Midwest.
You can watch it through Fox Sports Go, however.

How do you do that?
I love Vue.. I like I can miss a month if I need to and still have everything the same when I come back.
It's dope and I hope they are finding success with this.

1TB. It might be a bug with the Amazon Fire TV though. I think it might have been downloading data in the background.
I hit my cap 2 months in a row while on PSVUE. Before and after that, it never happened.

Viacom might be coming back to Vue.

Wonder what it would cost if it did come back to Vue or if it would just be placed into one of the existing tiers.
That's good news.

Hopefully it would added back into the current tier structure with the addition of the Budget Sports-Free tier.
This. I'm all for giving people who don't want sports a package they can pick but for those of us who do like sports and at least like one or two channels Viacom has, they need to add them back into all bundles/packages.

It's bullshit. I'm switching to Sling+Fubo (so I can access beIN connect).
How much is that combo? I'm checking out Sling, and I see they have BeIN - is that a separate package to get it? And does it have DVR?

From what I can tell Sling doesn't have DVR for beIN, which sucks. Fubo is 10 a month and Sling is either 20, 25, or 40 depending on the package. I think beIN is in the base packages but it's useless to me without access to Connect, which Fubo allows.

Apparently it does now. May be time to cut the cord again.

Interesting. Thanks.

I wish that there was the ability to hide channels from the guide. I'd hide all of the sports channels.
If you favorite all of your favorite channels then you would never have to scroll past any sports channels.

Hey guys, sorry to bump this. Not sure if this is the proper thread for this question, but my girlfriend and I are looking at possibly getting rid of our cable tv service and switching to Vue. The only thing that is possibly holding is back is, I'm not sure if it airs local news? I see it has, abc, cbs, fox, etc, but are these stations live? Or is it more similar to a hulu type of service? Sorry this is probably a question I could of figured out with more research, but I'm about to go to bed for the night and won't have much more time to do some research for a bit. Thanks guys!

It's live just make sure they have local channels in your area. Also there is a 7 day free trial to check it out.
Late here, but Vue has FSMW.

When did they get that? Had the service for a year in KC and didn't have it.

Vue not having Comedy Central was what kept my girlfriend from wanting us to try it, so this is good news.
We've been using Sling which we've been pretty happy with (especially since the XB1 app was updated and works now instead of being a massive POS like it used to be).
It depends where you live. If the base package for your address is $29.99 then you dont get live local channels. ABC, NBC, etc will be on demand only. CBS is the only live one I have in my town.

Go to site and put in your location and it will tell you.
No life channels where I'm at, but got some
Indoor antennas that are giving them all so hope they never come now to keep the price lower.
Not quite a year. I'm in STL and haven't had any issues. At one point there was an issue where it wasn't displaying for people despite them being in the supported region. I'd hope that's been fixed by now.
It's only available on the Core Slim package IIRC.

So just got an email that the elite plus package is going from $44.99 to $54.99 (in US) by October. What kind of shit is this?
Same. Thinking of switching to Youtube TV now. At least I'll get all my local channels.

Just saw the email of price increase myself. Not sure I want to pay $40 a month for how little I watch it. I subscribed mainly to watch F1 and an occasionally some soccer. If they're not adding any new channels then I'm out.
This may be in advance of Viacom coming back. That was a price dispute so this would give them more to work with. Hopefully they will add more channels though otherwise I will switch as well I have really enjoyed the ease of use but it's a little high for what they give right now.
Yeah, found out about this earlier today. Sony killed off the $30/mo. Slim package, and jumped all the other packages by $10 in prep for the "soon" rollout of local TV stations nationwide.
I'd definitely be pissed if I was subscribing, but I've been holding off since my market only has the CBS affiliate live.

Damn the price increase, will be considering other options in October
It's not a big deal for current subscribers as we get the original rate for 3 more months but new subscribers are getting hit which probably effects people who are currently on the free trial.
If local channel are nationwide from this it's not a terrible deal. Avoiding hockey blackouts will actually be really nice.
If you want both Cinemax and HBO you get a discount for getting them through Vue along with 2 dollars off if you have plus. I think you can also use HBO Now if you have the Vue sub.

is there any difference between adding HBO to Vue for $15 or just paying for HBO Now for the same monthly price?
You get the East and West live feeds and access to HBO Now when you get it through Vue.
IKR. My Core Slim is going from 34.99 to 44.99. Pretty upset because it's just the same trend the cable companies do and these Vue type services are supposed to be the good guy alternatives. I'm sure they justify it by a) adding more channels and/or b) it's still cheaper than cable but c'mon. I really like Vue too.

So there is no live feed option at all with Now? Like can you watch the Game of Thrones premier live on Sunday nights on Now?

On hbo's internet services, the episode becomes available immediately when the show begins airing live on tv. So if game of thrones starts at 9pm Eastern on Sunday night, it will be able to stream online at 9pm eastern. And you can skip around so technically you could know how the episode ends at 9:01 before the episode has finished airing on tv.

What does local channels are coming mean? Like would I get the Lakers and Dodgers channels? I already get the local 2-13 right now.

Yeah, when I had it, I only got the FOX station with everything else being On Demand. Didn't mind the On Demand, but I would have loved to have had the local stations for local news. I AM glad they're getting them, though.

Yeah this is a big price jump for this. And the crappy thing is it's still a better package deal for me than Comcast or the other options I have. The YouTube one looks interesting but not in my area yet, and DIRECTV Now still doesn't have DVR which is a must for me. I'll still probably stick with this but it hurts my wallet.
This price increase really blows. Not sure what I'll do in October when the price hike hits me. I just checked DirecTVNow's channel lineup and even their $50 option doesn't include every channel I use on my Core Slim plan for $35 (soon to be $45), and it doesn't have DVR either. Same with Hulu TV: no IFC & MLB Network and its missing Viacom channels just like Vue. Ditto on Youtube TV: has IFC but missing the rest.
Guess I'm gonna have to take it on the chin come October because comparable TV plans through my internet provider double-to-triple in price after one year on a contracted 2 years.
